Accented letter at end of line displays wrong

[niente0]

In WordPress (last version) if a line of text ends with an accented letter (ie "Università"), the accented letter is displayed as a "?" (unknown character). If replaced with à it displays correctly.
It happens on all wordpress sites I have (different plugins, different themes).

Working fine here. Please explain it more.

I did further testing. Since on local server it doesn't happen, I created two similar pages, saved and compared their html.

Local page has correct à-è-ì-ò-ù 1-byte characters, while pages coming from remote server encode them with 2-bytes (for example è is encoded as C3 A8).
Although I don't know why, this should not represent a big problem, except for the fact that if the 2-bytes char is at the end of line, the second byte is cut, leaving only C3 (unknown char).

Other details: Content type in response header is "text/html; charset=UTF-8" for both, there is no BOM, I have "define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');" in wp-config.php. Both local and remote sites have same plugins, and it happens also deactivating them all.

Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi @niente0. Are you still experiencing this? What is the database collation set to?

Hi niente0,

I'm also unable to reproduce this bug on multiple separate sites. Given that multiple people have been unable to reproduce and a lot of time has passed without more reports, it seems appropriate to close this ticket for now.

If you or anyone else encounters this issue again in a current version of WordPress, please feel free to reopen the ticket with updated reproduction steps and details.
